Flight safety authorities in the United States are investigating two separate Boeing 737 flight incidents operated by Southwest Airlines. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said on Friday, local time, it is investigating why a Boeing 737 MAX 8 "rolled" during a flight last month. The NTSB said the plane experienced what the crew said was a "Dutch roll" at 34,000 feet while en route from Phoenix, Arizona to Oakland, California on May 25. Such lateral asymmetric movements are named after a Dutch ice skating technique and can pose serious safety risks. The board said pilots regained control of the plane, landed it safely and no-one among the 175 passengers and six crew were injured during the incident. In a subsequent inspection, Southwest found damage to structural components, the NTSB said. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which said damage was seen in a stand-by power-control unit, said it is also investigating and working "closely with the NTSB and Boeing to investigate this event". Boeing declined to comment on the Dutch Roll incident, referring questions to Southwest, which said it is participating in the investigation. Plane dropped 4,400 feet a minute Separately, the FAA confirmed it is investigating another Southwest 737 MAX 8 passenger flight in April that came about 400 feet (122 metres) of the ocean off the coast of Hawaii after bad weather conditions prompted pilots to bypass a landing attempt at Lihue airport in Kauai. Should you be concerned about flying on Boeing planes? As members of the travelling public, should we be concerned about the slew of recent incidents with Boeing planes? Well, yes and no. During the go-around, the first officer "inadvertently pushed forward on the control column while following thrust lever movement commanded by the autothrottle," according to a June 7 memo seen by Reuters, and the plane began to descend rapidly hitting a maximum descent rate of about 4,400 feet a minute. The memo said "safety data confirmed the crew received a "DON'T SINK" oral warning followed by a "PULL UP" oral warning, but the first officer later said the crew did not hear the warnings. The pilots in a post-debrief said seeing the severity of the flight "through the animations was a significant, emotional event," the Southwest memo said, adding the crew participated in comprehensive corrective actions and the airline is reviewing data and trends related to its procedures, training, standards, and performance. Southwest said in a statement "the event was addressed appropriately as we always strive for continuous improvement". Bloomberg News first reported the Hawaii flight. Airplane troubles The two incidents are the latest in a series of troubles for the aviation industry. Boeing aircraft have been involved in a number of incidents. In January, a door panel flew off a Boeing 737 MAX 9 operated by Alaska Airlines, which was later found to be missing four bolts. An engine cowling fell off a Boeing 737 MAX 9 operated by Southwest and struck its wing flap during take-off on a flight in Denver in February. More recently a Boeing 777-300ER hit by severe turbulence in May, dropped 54 metres, resulting in a 73-year-old man's death and dozens of serious injuries. Closer to home, a LATAM flight in March from Auckland to Sydney suddenly dropped causing injury to 50 passengers in the Boeing 787-9. Airbus has also had troubles this year. A Japan Airlines Airbus A350 airliner burst into flames after a collision with a Coast Guard aircraft at Tokyo's Haneda airport in January. Five of the six crew on board the Coast Guard plane died and at least 17 people on the passenger plane were injured. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-17/boeing-737-max-drops-to-metres-above-ocean/103985934 Atlas Air suffers third aircraft incident this month, closing Hong Kong runway Atlas Air has suffered its third aircraft ‘incident’ this month, causing Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) to close a runway and delaying some 186 flights this morning. The airport managed to re-open its dual-runway operation at 3.45pm local time. An Atlas 747-400F, on route from Hong Kong to Chicago, via Anchorage, suffered a hydraulic failure near Taiwan. The crew decided to return to Hong Kong and landed two hours later. However, the aircraft burst “a number of tyres” on landing, according to Aviation Herald, becoming disabled and unable to be moved for several hours due to the hydraulic problem. HKIA confirmed there were no injuries. However, it noted that following the aircraft’s original take-off at 4.10am, it received reports of suspected tyre fragments on the south runway and moved operations to the north runway. Hactl, the main cargo handler at Hong Kong, confirmed it was operating normally. The airport authority said it was “highly concerned about the incident and will require the airline to submit a report to AAHK and the Civil Aviation Department as mandated by set procedures”. This is the third significant incident involving Atlas Air in just over two weeks – and its sixth this year. Two aircraft are currently on the ground. Last Tuesday, an Atlas 747-400F, on a Seoul-Anchorage-Guadalajara rotation, suffered a hydraulic failure after takeoff as it climbed to 10,000 feet. It dumped fuel before returning to Seoul. The treads of two tyres had separated, cutting a hydraulic line, and on landing, a third tyre burst, reported Aviation Herald. Just nine days earlier, the same aircraft landed in Los Angeles with a damaged left body gear tyre, and remained on the ground for some nine hours before departing for Mexico City. Atlas had two incidents in January: a 747-8F suffered an engine fire after taking off from Miami; and the right-hand engine of a 747-8F hit the runway on landing at Anchorage. An Atlas 777 was struck by hail in Hong Kong in at the end of April, resulting in damage. Atlas Air has 51 747s in service and seven parked, and six 777s, with one parked. Its 747s have an average age of 21 years, while its 777s are just six years old. https://theloadstar.com/atlas-air-suffers-third-aircraft-incident-this-month-closing-hong-kong-runway/ A Southwest Airlines plane that did a ‘Dutch roll’ suffered structural damage, investigators say Federal officials said on Thursday, June 13, 2024, they are investigating an unusual rolling motion on a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 Max that might have been caused by a damaged backup power-control unit. A Boeing 737 Max suffered damage to parts of the plane’s structure after it went into a “Dutch roll” during a Southwest Airlines flight last month, U.S. investigators said Friday. The incident happened as the jet cruised at 34,000 feet from Phoenix to Oakland, California, on May 25, but Southwest did not notify the National Transportation Safety Board about the roll or damage to the jetliner until June 7, the NTSB said. “Following the event, SWA performed maintenance on the airplane and discovered damage to structural components,” the safety board said. The NTSB comment could suggest that the incident was more serious than previously known, but aviation experts said it was too soon to know for sure. A Southwest spokesperson said the Dallas-based airline is participating in the investigation. He declined further comment. A Dutch roll is a combination of yaw, or the tail sliding side to side, and the plane rocking in a way that causes the wings to roll up and down. The name comes from the way the rhythmic, swaying movement resembles a form of ice skating that was popular in the Netherlands. “It’s just a part of aerodynamics,” said John Cox, a former airline pilot and now an aviation-safety consultant. “What you feel in the back is that the airplane sort of wallows.” Pilots train to recover from a Dutch roll, and most modern planes include a device called a yaw damper that can correct the condition by adjusting the rudder. A preliminary report by the Federal Aviation Administration said that after the Southwest plane landed, damage was discovered to a unit that controls backup power to the rudder. The damage was described as “substantial.” Cox said the structural damage likely occurred in the plane’s tail fin, where the power units are housed. He was baffled that the backup unit would be damaged because normally it would not be activated during a Dutch roll. Cox said the two-way oscillation of a Dutch roll was a dangerous phenomenon in previous Boeing jets, but not in 737s because of design changes. Boeing “737s are not prone to excessive Dutch roll. The design of the airplane is (such that) if you do absolutely nothing, the airplane will dampen the Dutch roll out naturally,” he said. “In older-model airplanes — 707s, 727s — it could develop up to the point you could lose control of the airplane.” The NTSB said it downloaded data from the plane, a Boeing 737 Max 8, which will help investigators determine the length and severity of the incident. Investigators won’t know precisely what the pilots were saying, however: The cockpit voice recorder was overwritten after two hours. The pilots regained control and landed at Oakland. There were no reported injuries on the flight, which carried 175 passengers and a crew of six. The NTSB said it expected to issue a preliminary report on the incident in about 30 days. https://apnews.com/article/southwest-plane-boeing-dutch-roll-828216b5dc18bfb29264b59debf071f0 FAA investigates after Southwest plane drops to ‘within 400ft’ of Pacific Ocean News comes as US regulators investigate separate incident after Boeing 737 Max 8 plane did a ‘Dutch roll’ in May The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a Southwest Airlines flight reportedly plunged to “within 400ft” of the Pacific Ocean during a flight. A memo distributed to Southwest pilots, obtained by Bloomberg, said that the Boeing 737 Max 8 plunged at a rate of 4,000ft a minute off the coast of Hawaii, coming within hundreds of feet of the ocean before climbing to safety. News of the incident comes as investigators said a Southwest-operated Boeing 737 Max 8 sustained significant damage after it did a “Dutch roll” during a flight from Phoenix to Oakland in May. The plunge off the coast of Hawaii occurred on 11 April, amid adverse weather conditions. The plane had been flying from Honolulu to Lihue when it experienced the rapid descent, Bloomberg reported. The report said the descent took the plane to about 400ft above the ocean, according to data from a flight tracking website. No one was injured. “Nothing is more important to Southwest than Safety,” the airline said in a statement provided to media outlets. “Through our robust Safety Management System, the event was addressed appropriately as we always strive for continuous improvement.” The FAA told CNN that it learned of the incident immediately and opened an investigation. The plane eventually re-routed to Honolulu. In the separate incident, on Friday Bloomberg reported that a Boeing 737 Max suffered damage to parts of the plane’s structure after it went into a “Dutch roll” during a Southwest Airlines flight in May. The incident happened as the jet cruised at 34,000ft from Arizona to California. Associated Press reported that the plane landed safely, but said Southwest did not notify the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) about the roll or damage to the jetliner until 7 June. “Following the event, SWA performed maintenance on the airplane and discovered damage to structural components,” the NTSB said. A Dutch roll occurs when the plane’s tail slides from side to side, and the plane rocks in a way that causes the wings to roll up and down. A report by the FAA said that “substantial” damage was discovered to a unit that controls backup power to the plane’s rudder. It is unclear what triggered the incident, which was the latest to involve a Boeing 737 Max aircraft. In January the FAA ordered nearly 200 Boeing 737 Max 9 to stop flying after a chunk of fuselage blew out of the plane mid-flight. The planes were allowed to return to the air after undergoing an expansive inspection and maintenance process. Last year Southwest agreed to pay a record-setting $140m civil penalty after a December 2022 holiday meltdown left 2 million passengers stranded at airports around the US. The airline canceled 8,000 flights over a four-day period, following a winter storm. The US Department of Transportation found that Southwest violated consumer protection laws by failing to provide adequate customer service assistance “via its call center to hundreds of thousands of customers”, as well as failing to provide prompt flight status notifications to more than 1 million passengers and prompt refunds to thousands. https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/jun/16/faa-investigation-southwest-plane-drop-dutch-roll Oxygen masks were 'inadvertently' deployed, and an emergency announcement played on a United flight — even though everything was fine Dozens of United Airlines passengers started to panic when an automated emergency announcement told them to put on oxygen masks, even though there wasn't any danger. The Boeing 777 was flying from Paris to Washington, DC, last Wednesday when the unusual incident occurred. Those on board were instructed by a pre-recorded message to wait for oxygen masks to fall from the ceiling and then put them on, Simple Flying reported. Few, if any, masks actually deployed. https://www.businessinsider.com/oxygen-masks-inadvertently-deployed-on-united-airlines-flight-2024-6 V-22 Flights To Remain Restricted Until 2025, Osprey Will Get New Clutch The risk posed by the clutch problem will not be eliminated until a complete redesign is done, which could take more than a year. The V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor will not return to “full, unrestricted flight operations” anytime soon, but it will continue to fly with restrictions until the U.S. military replaces the faulty clutch with a newly designed one. These restrictions will possibly be extended across the fleet, as the aircraft is used by the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force and the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF). This was revealed by U.S. military officials in a hearing before the House Oversight Committee on Jun. 12, 2024. The crash of a USAF CV-22 on Nov. 29, 2023 off the coast of Japan, that killed eight airmen, led to a three-month safety stand down of about 400 Osprey tiltrotors. That accident was the fourth fatal mishap in just over two years. As it will be explained subsequently, the clutch has not been said to be the reason behind the latest crash, despite being responsible for earlier mishaps. Investigators have identified another component (the ‘what’) and are investigating the reason (the ‘why’) it failed. The Aviationist reported that Osprey flights would resume in Japan in a “gradual” manner, following the first such flight in March in proximity of their air bases. The “phased” resumption would be synchronized with training and proficiency of pilots and, crews on new operating and maintenance procedures. Recurring clutch issue The Nov. 2023 crash was attributed by defense officials to a “part” failure, but the officials did not identify the component, according to Air and Space Forces. However, it appears that the V-22 Joint Program Office would still undertake the clutch replacement, as it had been responsible for previous crashes. The Naval Air Systems Command chief, Vice Adm. Carl Chebi, also did not name the part in his testimony, but he did describe it as a “catastrophic material failure that we have never seen before in the V-22 program.” V-22s often experience a problem called a “hard clutch engagement,” where the clutch slips, causing a fail-safe system to transfer power from one engine to the other. The clutch then re-engages, generating enormous spikes in torque. The Air Force previously grounded its fleet of CV-22s after multiple instances of hard clutch engagements. The fault was also blamed in one of three deadly Marine Corps crashes since 2022. That accident, in Jun. 2022, killed five Marines when the clutch problem caused a failure in the right engine during a training flight over Glamis, California. The V-22 has seen 19 instances of hard-clutch engagements over the life of the program. Since 1991, ten Osprey crashes have occurred killing 57 personnel. Military.com quoted USMC officials from the V-22 JPO, who said they disassembled clutches from their own V-22s and found the “input quill assembly” as one of the “likely culprits.” A new prototype of the assembly, with 15 design changes, was scheduled to be ready by June. The USMC operates roughly 350 Ospreys in 17 squadrons. Restrictions remain on full operations The decision to field the newly designed clutch, accompanied by the secrecy behind revealing the faulty component in the Nov. 2023 crash might seem contradictory. Chebi’s statement, however, might indicate that this is a new kind of failure and not a hard clutch engagement, which remains nevertheless a concern for the V-22 fleet. That part could be the propeller rotor gearbox that investigators are looking into, as per a Feb. 20 NBC News report. The probe has now narrowed down to “why” that gearbox malfunctioned. However, previous restrictions that curtailed the Osprey’s from operational sorties remain. These limited the Ospreys to fly for not more than 30-minutes and only around a suitable airfield where they would be able to return to, in case something went wrong. On Mar. 13, 2024, the Japanese Ministry of Defense announced that the JGSDF and the U.S. Military are working towards gradually resuming regular operations of the MV-22s in the country. Japan is the sole foreign operator of the Osprey. The USMC flies the MV-22B, the US Navy operates the CMV-22 while the US Air Force has the CV-22B. Prior to that announcement, on Mar. 8, NAVAIR (Naval Air Systems Command) lifted the grounding order on the V-22 Osprey fleet, while the AFSOC (Air Force Special Operations Command) announced a “phased approach” to resume flying its CV-22 following the three-month pause. By May, the Air Force had cleared only some of its CV-22s to resume flights. This was part of what officials said would be a “deliberate” approach with more thorough, frequent maintenance checks and new procedures for emergency situations. All those restrictions and new procedures won’t be going away anytime soon, Chebi told lawmakers. Chebi added that the risk posed by the clutch problem will not be eliminated until a complete redesign, which could take more than a year. Restrictions on Osprey flights would continue until then. “I will not certify the V-22 to return to unrestricted flight operations until we have sufficiently addressed the issues. Based on the data that I have today, I’m expecting that this will not occur before mid-2025,” he said. Chebi has also ordered a comprehensive review of the Pentagon’s Osprey program, which will take another six to nine months. https://theaviationist.com/2024/06/15/v-22-flights-to-remain-restricted-until-2025/ First flight of new Air Force One jet slips to 2026, Air Force says Boeing is currently revising the schedule for the presidential jetliner once again, which is expected to be updated later this summer, according to an Air Force spokesperson. WASHINGTON — Boeing’s long-delayed Air Force One replacement, known as the VC-25B, is facing new headwinds as the first flight for the program has now been pushed back another 16 months to March 2026, an Air Force spokesperson told Breaking Defense. Although the program’s schedule was rebaselined in 2022, it appears even more delays lay ahead. According to a previous report in Bloomberg, the program was tracking delays on top of previous schedule slips for two key objectives. The first is to “power on” the first aircraft, which consists of ground-based testing of subsystems and was most recently planned for last month. The second is the aircraft’s first flight previously expected in November of this year, according to Bloomberg. But the Air Force now expects the power on step won’t be reached until July 2025, and that the first flight won’t take place until March 2026. Officials expected the program to be about two-to-three years late under the revised 2022 schedule, which set the delivery of the first jet for September 2026 but with a year of schedule margin. The second was set to be delivered in February 2027 but with a full year of wiggle room. Boeing is once again “in the process of updating” the program’s schedule, the Air Force spokesperson said, “which may result in changes to any dates provided.” The next schedule update is anticipated later this summer, they added, and it’s not clear what impact this may have on expected delivery dates. Boeing declined to comment. Alongside staggering losses on programs like the KC-46A refueling tanker, the VC-25B program has been a poster child for what Boeing executives have admitted were ill-advised, fixed-price agreements with the Pentagon. Negotiated under the Trump administration with previous company leadership, incumbent CEO Dave Calhoun told investors in 2022 that the VC-25B program represented “a very unique set of risks that Boeing probably shouldn’t have taken.” Boeing has lost over $2 billion to date on the presidential airlift recapitalization effort alone. The aerospace giant was originally expected to deliver the first airplane this year. Issues like workforce disruptions previously prompted the schedule rebaseline for the behemoth effort to militarize two commercial 747s. The program experienced a major disruption when a subcontractor hired to furnish the jets’ interiors went bankrupt and Boeing had to transition to a new supplier. Pandemic impacts on the labor force, such as stiff competition for workers, also hampered Boeing’s plans. The company additionally had to confront a peculiar workforce issue where certain employees didn’t have proper clearances but worked on the program anyway, prompting Pentagon scrutiny. There have also been developmental woes, the Government Accountability Office reported last year. For example, “Boeing identified a large number of unexpected design errors, which led to suspension of wiring fabrication in March 2022,” the watchdog found. https://breakingdefense.com/2024/06/first-flight-of-new-air-force-one-jet-slips-to-2026-air-force-says/ CALENDAR OF EVENTS • (APTSC) Asia and Pacific Turboprop Safety Conference - June 26 - 27, 2024 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia • Airborne Public Safety Association, Inc.
